Dear Rob,

thank you very much for your great tool.

And sorry to all scripting pros. As a total noob my script(s) fail at some point.
The goal is to copy a tab in firefox, move the new window to the left screen and position the mouse on the new screen:

sp.SendKeys("^l");
sp.SendKeys("+{Enter}");
var scr = action.Window.MoveToPreviousScreen();
sp.ConsumePhysicalInput(true);
sp.MouseMove(new Point(scr.Bounds.Left + (scr.Bounds.Width / 2), scr.Bounds.Top + (scr.Bounds.Height / 2)));
sp.ConsumePhysicalInput(false);

The old window is moved to the new screen, the new window stays, not maximized.

All other approaches failed as well.
E.g.:

sp.SendKeys("^l");
sp.Sleep(8);
sp.SendKeys("+{Enter}");
sp.Sleep(8);
sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LWIN], [vk.LEFT]);
sp.Sleep(8);
sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LWIN], [vk.LEFT]);
sp.SendKeys("% ");
sp.Sleep(8);
sp.SendKeys("x");

or

sp.SendKeys("^l");
sp.Sleep(5);
sp.SendKeys("+{Enter}");
sp.Sleep(5);
sp.SendAltDown();
sp.SendKeys("{Tab}");
sp.Sleep(5);
sp.SendKeys("{Left}");
sp.Sleep(5);
sp.SendKeys("{Enter}");
sp.SendAltUp();
sp.Sleep(5);
sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LWIN], [vk.LEFT]);
sp.Sleep(5);
sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LWIN], [vk.LEFT]);
sp.Sleep(5);
sp.SendKeys("% ");
sp.Sleep(5);
sp.SendKeys("x");

How can I activate the new window (typing the shortcuts directly works) in order to move and maximize it?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Alex

Hi
I hope if this will works because i don't have way to test it BigGrin
Try it and tell me.

Code:
if (sp.ForegroundWindow().ClassName == "MozillaWindowClass") {

    var clipboard = clip.GetText(); // save text from clipboard
    if (!clipboard) clipboard = " ";
    
    sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LCONTROL], [vk.VK_L]); // focus on adress bar
    sp.Sleep(30);
    sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LCONTROL], [vk.VK_C]); // copy url
    sp.Sleep(30);

    var url = clip.GetText(); // get url

    clip.SetText(clipboard); // restore clip

    var wHWnd = sp.ForegroundWindow().HWnd;

    // command "-foreground" will set new window as active
    sp.RunProgram("C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe", "-new-window " + '"' + url + '"' + " -foreground", "", "", true, false, false); // run as new window

    // wait for new window
    while (sp.ForegroundWindow().HWnd == wHWnd) {
        sp.Sleep(50);
    }
    sp.Sleep(150);

    var wnd = sp.ForegroundWindow(); // get active window
    wnd.MoveToPreviousScreen(); // move window
    //wnd.Maximize(); // uncomment to maximize new window

    // move cursor
    var scrWidth   = Screen.FromHandle(wnd.HWnd).Bounds.Width; // get the screen size in which the new window is located
    var scrHeight = Screen.FromHandle(wnd.HWnd).Bounds.Height;
    sp.MouseMove(new Point(Math.floor(scrWidth / 2), Math.floor(scrHeight/ 3)));

}

Hi Yuichi,

thank you for your efforts.

Your script is working like a charm.

I only had to adapt the application path AND increase the waiting time (outside your while statement!) from 150 to 200ms (already worked at 180) for the new window to come up.

Thank you!

Alex

A slightly updated version, for a clear conscience.

Code:
if (sp.ForegroundWindow().ClassName == "MozillaWindowClass") {

    // GET URL
    var clipboard = clip.GetText(); // save text from clipboard
    if (!clipboard) clipboard = " ";
    sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LCONTROL], [vk.VK_L]); // focus on adress bar
    sp.Sleep(30);
    sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LCONTROL], [vk.VK_C]); // copy url
    sp.Sleep(30);
    var url = clip.GetText(); // get url
    clip.SetText(clipboard); // restore clip

    if (url.includes("://")) { // is a url?
        // RUN NEW WINDOW
        sp.RunProgram(sp.ExpandEnvironmentVariables("%PROGRAMW6432%") + "\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe", "-foreground -new-window " + '"' + url + '"' , "", "", true, false, false);
        sp.Sleep(300);

        // MOVE NEW WINDOW TO FIRST SCREEN
        var wnd = sp.ForegroundWindow(); // get active window
        wnd.MoveToScreen(0); // move window
        var scrWidth   = Screen.FromHandle(wnd.HWnd).Bounds.Width; // get the screen size in which the new window is located
        var scrHeight = Screen.FromHandle(wnd.HWnd).Bounds.Height;
        sp.MouseMove(new Point(Math.floor(scrWidth/2), Math.floor(scrHeight/3)));
        //wnd.Maximize(); // uncomment to maximize new window
    }
}

Great! Since my 64bit firefox version resides in its old 32bit path I added/changed some lines:

Code:
if (sp.ForegroundWindow().ClassName == "MozillaWindowClass") {

// SAVE CLIP
if(clip.ContainsAudio()) { var savedclip = clip.GetAudioStream(); sp.StoreNumber("clipcase", 1); } // save clip
else if (clip.ContainsFileDropList()) { var savedclip = clip.GetFileDropList(); sp.StoreNumber("clipcase", 2); }
else if (clip.ContainsImage()) { var savedclip = clip.GetImage(); sp.StoreNumber("clipcase", 3); }
else if (clip.ContainsText()) { var savedclip = clip.GetText(); sp.StoreNumber("clipcase", 4); }
if (!savedclip) savedclip = " ";

// GET URL
sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LCONTROL], [vk.VK_L]); // focus on address bar
sp.Sleep(30);
sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LCONTROL], [vk.VK_C]); // copy url
sp.Sleep(30);
var url = clip.GetText(); // get url
switch (sp.GetStoredNumber("clipcase")) { // restore clip
    case 1: clip.SetAudio(savedclip); break;
    case 2: clip.SetFileDropList(savedclip); break;
    case 3: clip.SetImage(savedclip); break;
    case 4: clip.SetText(savedclip); break;
}
sp.DeleteStoredNumber("clipcase");

if (url.includes("://")) { // is a url?
    // RUN NEW WINDOW
    var ffpath  = "\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe";
    var env =  sp.ExpandEnvironmentVariables("%ProgramFiles%") + ffpath;
    var env32 = sp.ExpandEnvironmentVariables("%ProgramFiles(X86)%") + ffpath;
    var env64 = sp.ExpandEnvironmentVariables("%ProgramW6432%") + ffpath;
    if (File.Exists(env)) var apppath = env;
    if (File.Exists(env32)) var apppath = env32;
    if (File.Exists(env64)) var apppath = env64;
    sp.RunProgram(apppath, "-foreground -new-window " + '"' + url + '"' , "", "", true, false, false);
    sp.Sleep(300);
    
    // MOVE NEW WINDOW TO PREVIOUS SCREEN <- Change "...PreviousScreen()" to "...NextScreen()" for next screen as destination
    var wnd = sp.ForegroundWindow(); // get active window
    wnd.MoveToPreviousScreen(); // move window
    var scrWidth   = Screen.FromHandle(wnd.HWnd).Bounds.Width; // get the screen size in which the new window is located
    var scrHeight = Screen.FromHandle(wnd.HWnd).Bounds.Height;
    sp.ConsumePhysicalInput(true);
    sp.MouseMove(new Point(Math.floor(scrWidth/2), Math.floor(scrHeight/2)));
    sp.ConsumePhysicalInput(false);
    //wnd.Maximize(); // uncomment to maximize new window
  }

}
